Pistachio Mini Meringues

Healthy and low fat dessert recipes can be difficult to find - and so meringues are really a bit of a bargain. You can add really nutritious things (like the Pistachios featured here) but even without the nuts, the meringue element of the dish pretty much only consists of sugar and egg whites, and both of these ingredients are very low in cholesterol. Enjoy these little Meringues with some coffee, or dipped in a little melted (dark) chocolate. A bowl of strawberries on the side would be a brilliant, and healthy, addition.
